This airspace is always off limits
What is a Prohibited Area?
This airspace surrounds the nation's busiest airports, shaped like an upside-down wedding cake.
What is Class B?
In Class E below 10,000 MSL, these are the cloud clearance requirements
What is 500 below, 1,000 above, 2,000 horizontal?
The cloud clearance requirement for Special VFR
What is clear of clouds?
This piece of equipment is required in Class B and Class C airspace
What is a Mode C transponder (and ADS-B Out)?
This airspace requires contacting the controlling agency to determine the status or getting permission before entry
What is a Restricted Area?
This class of airspace requires two-way communication and has a 5 nm inner core and a 10 nm shelf.
What is Class C?
The daytime VFR weather minimums in Class G below 1,200 AGL
What is 1 SM visibility, clear of clouds?
Special VFR requires this from ATC
What is a clearance?
ADS-B Out is required at and above this altitude across the U.S.
What is 10,000 MSL (except within 2,500 AGL of the surface)?
This SUA allows entry without clearance, but may contain military training flights
What is an MOA?
This class of airspace usually extends 4 nm from the airport and up to 2,500 AGL
What is Class D?
The visibility required in Class E or G above 10,000 MSL
What is 5 SM?
This airspace class is not eligible for Special VFR
What is Class E extensions
The certificated level needed to fly in Class B airspace (without an endorsement)
What is a Private Pilot Certificate?
This SUA contains unusual activity, such as student training
What is an Alert Area?
This airspace is uncontrolled and is not depicted on charts.
What is Class G?
The reason Class G has lower weather minimums than Class C
What is less traffic and no ATC separation services?
At night, a pilot must have this to request Special VFR
What is an instrument rating (and IFR equipped aircraft)
The two equipment items required for Class A flight
What is an IFR-certified aircraft and an ADS-B Out transponder?
This SUA is not shown on the charts because activities stop if aircraft are detected.
What is a Controlled Firing Area?
